IIRC that particular book has a nice plastic bag around it 
with a black box to cover up the "offending" part. At 
least, it does over here in England.

I'm surprised that PoMoMa got that treatment - and I'm 
disappointed. If it's hidden away, that means less people 
are going to pick it up, be seduced by its magnificence and 
be sucked into a life of addiction to this mailing list 
   :-)

I can't imagine it's the nipples that are doing it - I'm 
sure that most WW books have a much larger nipple count. 
Which leads to two conclusions. I'm hoping the first is the 
reason.

1. It's the Carnal illustration. So it mildly resembles a 
penis. Wow. So do a lot of things to a lot of people, but  
 they're not hidden behind a counter.
2. Dual standards. White Wolf are a big company, so nipples 
are OK in their books. Atlas are small, ergo nipples bad.

I'm also surprised that LG$ didn't get the same treatment 
for its depiction of masturbation. Seems some things slip 
by the net...
